Lucky Ducklings

Eva Moore

Mama duck leads her five babies on a walk through the park and into town. One by one the little ducklings disappear as they fall through the grate in a storm drain. “Call the fire department!” yells a bystander and eventually the firemen free “Pippin, Bippin, Tippin, Dippin and last of all Little Joe.” Realistic charcoal illustrations show the worried faces of the ducklings and the relief of their rescue. In a nod to McCloskey’s Make Way for Ducklings, this adventure is based on a true event that happened in Montauk, New York in 2000. Perfect for reading aloud, this charming tale holds its own next to the beloved classic. Ages 5-7
